Junior Panorama Winners
Off to Mexico

 

 

Trinidad - St. Margaret’s Boys Anglican Steel Orchestra will represent Trinidad & Tobago at the 5th Annual Festival Internacional Cedros-Universidad Panamericana in Mexico City, Mexico.

A total of 30 performers, professors and researchers from 14 countries have been invited. All of which will help to enhance the quality of the music education not only from Mexico, but also from all Latin America.

The Under 16 National Junior Panorama 2007 winners will depart on Sunday and return on Monday 26th March 2 007.  During their stay, the steel orchestra will participate in a series of concerts geared towards musical youth groups from various countries.

The invitation was issued to Pan Trinbago through the Mexican Embassy and funded by the Ministries of Education, Tourism, Community Development, Culture and Gender Affairs.  It was felt that the participation of TnT’s youth steel orchestra will have a special place in the Festival, not only for their young age and excellent musical level, but for the message that a group like them represents to the music world: messengers of peace, freedom and world communication.

Forty-one (41) persons of which 28 are band members between the ages 8 – 14 years will make the trip. The students will be accompanied by teachers, parents and officials.

Fundamental objective of this Festival is to offer Mexico an opportunity to improve the learning and teaching of music at all its levels; from pre-school leading up to general music studies at the primary school, professional, interpretation, etc.

“Our main concern,” according to Coordinator Jorge Martinez Carino, “is to offer all music teachers of Mexico, the opportunity to improve their teaching tools.

“The music of the world”, a term used today by specialists to refer to music created by non-traditional cultural groups, is a basic tool to be shared with the professors of Mexico. Consequently, the importance that Trinidad & Tobago’s music known as “steel pan” has gained in this medium will be very useful for the completion of this task”

Other highlights of the visit will be a tour to the pyramids of Teotihuacan and a Mexican party for the visiting delegation.
